    Do you prefer newer or older games?

    3-5 and then the others, IMO. RBY and GSC are great experiences aesthetically and of course have all those exploitable bits of code we like to call glitches, but the main source of replay value they have is completing the Pokédex on both generations (inevitably linking up the two along the way)...

    Little things you like about Pokémon

    I nerdgasmed when Foobar reached the theme for Sky Pillar and I started hearing an updated version of the Rayquaza cutscene theme from Emerald. One of the few tracks I actually like better in the remake and exactly the type of conscientious aesthetic decision we've all learned to expect from...

    Why are the cute Pokemon not more popular?

    If I could get plushies of them, I'd get these guys. They're the cutest Pokémon to me.

    Little things you like about Pokémon

    The main things that I thought of that might not be on every mind are the music, RNG, and glitches. The music from the games was all I ever listened to for a very, very long time, and what inspired me to start writing my own (even in the stuff I write nowadays I occasionally sneak in a...

    Sticky Have a question? Ask it here! (NOT SM QUESTIONS)

    IVs can't be changed; they are generated when you encounter a given Pokémon or pick up the Egg containing it. Aiming for IVs and a given nature is the primary goal of SRing/RNGing. EVs can be gained by defeating any Pokémon outside a Battle Facility (i.e., any time you can get experience...

    I'm actually quite the veteran of RNG abuse, and was one of the main ones who did it in Gen III back in the day. To be honest, it was probably the main thing that kept me interested in playing the games. I recently heard about the pentagon thing for VGC though...it's ridiculous! I wonder what...

    Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow to be re-released for the 3DS Virtual Console

    That does it, I'm picking up a New 3DS XL for these. (I want to keep my 2DS on 9.5 so I can't use the shop.)

    Gen VII: Pokémon Sun and Moon (New info Post #5834)

    I'm guessing there'll be some sort of PID generation routine based on the IVs from the Gen I 'Mons. That would mean a fairly shallow pool of possible spreads compared to what you can catch in the later generations, but it's better than nothing considering it's mostly a gimmick to begin with. EVs...

    Wow, so those are actually valuable then.

    Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow to be re-released for the 3DS Virtual Console

    Can we still underflow the items in the bag to get an 8F, carry 20 TM34s and 46 each of TM46 and TM15, swap the places of TM17 and TM15, use the 8F before jumping off a ledge to enable walk through walls, swap TM17 and TM15 again, toss TM34 until you only have one, then get on the bike and use...

    Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow to be re-released for the 3DS Virtual Console

    I saw that the Old Man Glitch and Escape Glitch were mentioned upon skimming this thread. I am incredibly relieved.

    New Name and Profile Change Requests [READ THE OP]

    Requesting a name change to Sherkel, as it's just what I use now, including on Showdown (this site's affiliated with Showdown now? That's awesome! :D ). done, this site has always been affiliated with Showdown - ante

    How do you get shiny stationaries in Gen VI? Recent trade threads make it seem reasonably easy, but I don't see a guide for how to get them shiny, just how to get good IVs. (Only interested in doing it for Reshiram/Zekrom, as the rest I can just get in the older games.)

    Unpopular opinions

    The music is and always has been the main thing I look forward to in Pokémon games. "My data is the same as yours, but it's better than yours." This is the essence of legitimacy arguments. (Can't remember who said this first and if I got a word or two wrong. Let me know if it was you!)

    It's been such a long time...I don't know if you still remember me or not, but I've been messing around on Emerald again recently (not going to start trading or anything, RNG was all I cared about even when I had a thread) and found myself visiting this forum again. It's great to look back...

    Battle Maison Discussion & Records

    Is it not? Well, I'll wait and see. Generation V Wi-Fi was all about Pokecheck which does effectively what the exploit does (though it did add to the 'Dex), and Battle Tower/Subway mons were easily downloadable. This thread's a ranking for how high a streak someone can get, which isn't just how...

    Battle Maison Discussion & Records

    Wow, what a thread. Really takes me back to the Battle Tower days. These streaks and analyses are as impressive as ever. A request to those who have gotten some of those higher streaks: do you think you could post QR codes for the Pokemon you used? I'd love to try out some of them for myself...
